Brighter days in Montreal?

Article Abstract:

Montreal has lost 506 corporate headquarters to Toronto, Ontario, since 1977, but that trend now appears to be reversing. Many high-tech firms are relocating to Montreal because of favorable tax incentives, a well-educated workforce and the city's reputation for a good quality-of-life.
